2013 Chrysler Town and Country Limited NAV 4X4

What's New for 2013 For 2013, the Chrysler Town Country receives an upgraded rear seat entertainment system. The base entertainment system includes a higher-resolution screen, while the premium system now includes a Blu-ray player and an HDMI input. Rear-seat USB ports (for charging electronic devices) and trailer sway control are also new this year. Introduction Many vehicle model names past and present tend to be nonsensical. Consider the Sprinter, a huge van that's anything but an acceleration champ, or the Aspire, a tiny, cheap economy car. But the 2013 Chrysler Town Country minivan is no such automotive oxymoron. This plush people mover is equally suited to shuttling a group of businessmen to the Ritz-Carlton across town as it is to taking the family across the country to the Grand Canyon. Essentially a twin to the Dodge Caravan , the Chrysler Town Country features unique styling tweaks and a more upscale interior to bolster its premium position. This year brings a few more upgrades, such as the industry's only Blu-ray-compatible DVD player and a pair of USB ports for rear seat passengers who might otherwise despair about their phones' low battery charge. Befitting its uptown status, the Town Country offers other niceties including keyless ignition/entry and heated front and second-row seats, even a heated steering wheel. A powerful V6 and confident handling make the Town Country an alert minivan, yet it still doesn't feel as dynamic or responsive as the class leaders. The engine can also get loud and abrasive when pushed hard, and over broken pavement, the T C's ride isn't as compliant as its rivals. The 2013 Chrysler Town Country isn't the only choice if you want the trimmings of a touring sedan with the greater passenger and cargo capacities of a minivan. Top trim levels of the 2013 Honda Odyssey , 2013 Nissan Quest and 2013 Toyota Sienna are all pretty posh and offer superior refinement in some areas. We still suggest putting it on your test-drive list, as its price is competitive, but you may find the Town Country outclassed by more polished efforts. Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options The 2013 Chrysler Town Country minivan is offered in three trim levels: Touring, Touring-L and Limited. The entry-level Touring model comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, foglights, automatic wipers, a roof rack, power sliding doors and a power tailgate. Inside you'll find triple-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, a power driver seat, power-adjustable pedals, Stow 'n Go second-row seats, cruise control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, full power accessories (including second-row power windows and third-row power vents), a conversation mirror, a back-up camera, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a 115-volt AC power outlet. Electronic features include a rear-seat DVD entertainment center (with a second-row screen), Bluetooth, rear-seat USB charging ports and a six-speaker CD sound system with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, a USB/iPod interface, an auxiliary audio jack and digital music storage. Moving up to the Touring-L model gets you 17-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, auto-dimming outside mirrors, remote ignition, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated front seats and second- and third-row window shades. The top-of-the-line Limited model adds xenon headlights, power-folding sideview mirrors, keyless ignition/entry, upgraded leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seats, Bluetooth audio, a navigation system, an upgraded DVD entertainment system (with Blu-Ray compatibility, an HDMI input and an additional third-row screen) and a nine-speaker premium audio system. Some of the standard features found on the upper Town Country trim levels can be added to the lower trims via optional packages. Other major options include a sunroof, a towing package (with trailer sway control), a power-folding third-row seat and an upgraded center console. Powertrains
